It’s not the same. Businesses are not people. Laws which protect businesses are either a proxy to protect the people affected by businesses, or they’re illegitimate. To the extent arbitrarily taking resources from Netflix for free is in any way immoral, that moral factor is because it affects humans. Otherwise taking from Netflix is at worst neutral, because it’s an entity which exists in our imagination for purposes which are supposed to be for our benefit.

But, I see a pattern, a linkage, between persistent denial of legal boundary, by individuals and by corporate entities. I believe the one informs the other. I might add that I dislike IPR, and Patent law intensely.
